ATTORNEY UNITED STATES LOUIS V. ARONSON, OF NEWARK, NEW JERSEY.

HEATING DEVICE.

Application filed February 11, 1920.

To all whom it may concern.

Be it known that I, Louis V. ARoNsoN, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city of Newark, county of Essex, and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Heating Devices, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make, construct, and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to numerals of reference marked thereon, forming a part of this specification.

This invention relates to heating devices primarily designed for pocket use, having for its object, the provision of a device adapted when folded or closed to contain a small receptacle filled with a solidified inflammable material, and when unfolded or open and in an extended position the hinged sides of the device, provide means for supporting a container, the contents of which may be heated by igniting the solidified ma terial contained in the receptacle which is removably secured to the base of the device, by means of a pair of integral tongues struck up from the base thereby providing means for substituting a filled receptacle after removing the empty one.

WVith these ends in View, my invention consists in certain novelties of construction and arrangements of parts as hereinafter set forth and pointed out in the claims.

WVhile the preferred form of my invention is illustrated drawing, yet it is to be understood that minor changes may be made without departing from the scope thereof.

In the drawings,

Figure 1 represents, a perspective view the device illustrating the same closed. Fig. 2 represents a similar view showing the device in its opened position, and

Fig. 3 represents a longitudinal central section taken on line a2--m of Fig. 2.

Similar numerals of reference refer to like parts throughout the specification and drawings.

The improved heating device is preferably made of sheet metal of any suitable kind, such as iron, aluminum or the like.

The base of the device comprises a body portion 1 provided with two upwardly eX- tending ends 2-2 which form the closed- Specification of Letters Patent.

ends of the device when it is folded as illustrated in Fig. 1 of the drawings.

Each longitudinal edge of the body portion 1, adjacent to the ends 22 is provided with the integral tubular bearings 33, which register with a similar integral tubular bearing 4 formed on each of the lids to be presently described/ The body portion 1 is provided with in tegral holding means 55 formedin the blank fromwhich the base is made. These holding means 5-5 consist of integrally formed lugs extending inwardly from the body portion 1, thus providing a space be tween which. any suitable form of a small receptacle filled with a solidified inflammable material may be secured.

Each hinged lid 6 is pivotally secured to the body portion 1 of the base by means of a pintle 7, which is securedin the tubular bearing 4, the ends of which are located in the tubular bearings 3-3 of the body portion 1.

The parts are of such shape as to lend themselves readily to manufacture, by the use of suitable punches and dies from ordinary sheet metal.

Each hinged lid 6 is provided with two 7 diametrically oppositely arranged slots 8-8 and a c t-away portion 9.

Extending from one side of each lid and at right angles thereto, is the integral side 10 by means of whi h said lid is hingedly secured to the base of the device by the bearing 4.

Extending from the other side of the lid and at right angles thereto, are the two integral projections 11-l1 which form the supporting means and whi h are designed to engage and interlock with the slots 8-8 of the oppos te lid.

When the parts are in the pos tion illustrated in Fig. 2 of the d awings the two projections 11 on each lid 6 form means for su porting a container, the contents of which may be heated by igniting the solidified material contained in the receptacle 12 (shown in dotted lines in Fig. 3) and which is removably secured to the base of the device by means of the struck up tongues as clearly indi ated in said figure.

Xperience has demonstrated that the organization above desc ibed is a highly efficient one, and while T have shown the preferred embodiment of my present invention,

said lids tails of construction shown and described,

as obviousmodifications thereof, not involving the exercise of invention, maybe made by any skilled mechanic, and such departures from what is herein set forth,l consider within the scope and terms of claims.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by-Let ters Patent is: Y

1 A device of the character described, comprising a base having integral ends pro,- jecting therefrom, lids pivotally secured to the longitudinal edges of the base, said base being provided with means for securing a receptacle thereon. 2. A device of the character described, comprising a base provided with means for securing a receptacle thereon, lids pivotally secured to the longitudinal edges of; the base, being provided with interlocking means adaptedtoengage'with each other,

whereby said lids are held; in closed position.

3. A device of the character described, comprising a base having integral ends proectlng therefrom, said base being further provided withrmeans for securing a receptacle thereon, lids having integral sides formed thereon, pivotally secured to the longitudinal edges of the base.

4. A device of the character described,

comprising a base having integral ends projecting therefrom, said base being further LOUIS v. ARONSON.
